H . MOSER Streamliner Tourbillon Rainbow
H . Moser & Cie . sets a glamorous rainbow of sapphires into the bezel of two of its Streamliner Tourbillon models .
The already spectacular watch , which highlights an eye-catching one-minute flying tourbillon at the six-o ’ clock position , can now be purchased as the Streamliner Tourbillon Rainbow with its tourbillon framed by a sparkling selection of sixty baguette sapphires set in either a red gold or steel cushion-shaped case . The red gold edition is matched with the brand ’ s famed über-dark Vantablack dial while the steel version is set with an H . Moser signature fumé dial . Each is doubly blessed with the same Streamliner integrated three-blade bracelet , a comfortable , brushed-finished beauty in either the steel or the red gold iteration .
The extra-luxurious detail here involves an extra-helping of the H . Moser gradient treatment . Not only do the sapphires gradually echo the colors of a rainbow as they circle the dial , their varying sizes nicely underscore the Streamliner ’ s retro-luxe cushion-shaped case .
Those familiar with the H . Moser one-minute flying tourbillon set in the watch ’ s HMC 804 caliber know that is equipped with a double hairspring designed and produced in-house by H . Moser & Cie .’ s sister company Precision Engineering AG . As Moser explains , the matched hairsprings mean that the movement ’ s friction errors are minimized immediately , significantly improving accuracy and isochronism .
Prices : $ 119,900 ( steel ) and $ 175,000 ( red gold ).
